Justice is Not Cheap 

The state of Alabama might want to rethink their position on slot machines. It would appear that they are spending so much time trying to figure out whether or not slot machines are legal that they have already spend more than a half of a million dollars on their legal defense. This is a lot of money for any state to spend on defenses, but especially since it is their own state that they are fighting against.  

The administration maintains that it is a wash really because they say that although they have spent that much on keeping slot machines illegal, they have also seized $1.3 million from those same illegal slot machines. The task force says that they have worked hard for the past year and a half to eliminate slot machines from the state and that they are finally starting to be very successful in eliminating them. 

Their task force leader – John Tyson – says that he is not even getting any financial compensation for leading the group that is making the state a better place. The residents of the state though wonder why they are spending so much money keeping slot machines illegal when they could really be gaining money instead. They said that the state could be bringing in several times that amount of money if they would just regulate and legalize the slot machines instead of working so hard to eliminate them.  

Those that wonder whether online slot machines are in the state’s future should probably keep wondering. If the state is spending that much money trying to get rid of the ones they have, why on earth would they allow more to come in?
